Most songs are written by Billy Corgan, who was also involved in the Mellon Collie booklet art direction and design.

Their typical style tends to be fairly tortured, loud and
energetic, though always melodious and rarely offensive, so it could be described as 'light' metal.
They also write
many beautiful peaceful songs which sound like soft moments of calm in a storm.
Their lyrics are quite poetic and heart-wrenching in essence. In content, they are mostly angry, dark and sad,
but also occasionally sweet. They are frequently infused with a touch of surrealism and mostly concerned with
feelings of emotional frustration, sadness and rebellion experienced through maturity, the often bitter wisdom
gained through the painful loss of the dreams of youth. |
